I did my first self-build in the late 1960s. Having seen the value of the finished bungalow double in 12 months, I embarked on another project, then another and so on. I’ve learnt more from tradesmen with each build, and I completed my last one single-handedly, apart from the kitchen and staircase, in 2002. That was to be my final scheme but an opportunity arose just down our lane that, despite now being in my 70s, was too good to miss.
